    <dt><b>Refresh</b> (F5)</dt>
    <dd>Refreshes the resource with the contents in the file system.</dd>
    <dt><b>Convert Line Delimiters To</b></dt>
    <dd>Alters the line delimiters for the selected files. Changes are immediate and persist until you change the

      <ul>
        <li>The path to the resource in your file system</li>
        <li>The date of the last modification</li>
        <li>Whether a file is writable or executable, and what its encoding is</li>
        <li>Whether a project's resources inherit their encoding and line delimiters or whether they are set to a
        particular value.</li>
      </ul>
    </dd>
